Task Scheduler - Task Idle Conditions
Did you try using the On idle Trigger instead? As far as I know the task Idle conditions have been used for this trigger only.
I have created a test task - it is below. It will be executed after 1 minute every time a computer became idle. To test it, I was just locking the Windows screen, using Win + L
shortcut. The task has been executed exactly 1 minute after computer was locked.
Test Task.xml:
You can import this task into a task scheduler and test.
